  1. Hehe you know that chair came with a set of 4 and a card table I bought when I was single and renting an apartment first moved up here and it was my only kitchen table for paper work and eating .. Walmart special got rid of the table years ago, but still have all the chairs and yes, they are very comfortable for a cheap set
  2. there were quite a few of them in my area as a kid,,,but alot of furniture movers,,,we used to call them bedbuggers here,,,,and our trailers were alot shorter back then,,,and yes as geoff said,,,,ive heard many times thier mileage was lousy,,bob
  3. ok everything all cleaned up ready for assembly tomorrow,nowhere to drive,in the morning,so i can jump right on it,,,also came up with this ingenious idea so i wont wing up putting it together on my knees.on the floor
  4. I wonder what kind of power that you had and how successful they were with sales most of us remember at least a lot of R models come through with a V8 Chrysler I’ve actually only seen one with the hood tilted
  5. It’s been quite a few years, but from what I remember, the dog house was really hefty and it was louvered and I did stick out quite a bit inside the cab. I wanna say it was actually wider or longer whatever you wanna call. It came out further from the fire well than the U model did
  6. You know, Brocky that sounds familiar I know I have done that somewhere along the line I do remember writing a neighbors 54 Ford convertible with the top down going to a drive-in movie with neighbor kid. I don’t know what year that was, but the car was not that old at the time.
  7. going to pick up some Indian gaskit sealer and oil for this thing this morning,,,hoping on finishing this thing in a couple of days,,except for the lines,,,,my old bottle of sealer got knocked down and all spilled on the bench,,,i was pissed,just bought it for the valve covers,,anyway checked the manual once again to make sure im getting the right weight,oil,,and manual actually says you can use transmission fluid,,in it but sheppard prefers you to use 10-40 motor oil
  8. They were tanks. I spent a lot of time in them as well as a Mustang and a road boss
  9. When I was about eight a bunch of us hanging around one kid had a German shepherd his mother gave him a biscuit to give to the dog. Of course we all had to take a bite to see what it tasted like a sucker was horrible. I could still remember just what it tasted like. I’m sure we’re not the only fools that did this.
  10. yeah, moving as a real bear I wind up doing the same thing you know it’s bad enough. This house is way full of shit but then I’ve got two sheds and a workshop and a garage. It would take quite a bit of help to move out of here.
  11. All right, I know this doesn’t amount to a hill of beans, but I had mentioned I had leese Neville body shop spray gun a while back it’s been buried for years. I haven’t used it in 25 years. I found it yesterday when I was looking for the cam bearing puller it’s actually.a develbiss .. and no, I did not get any further on a steering box more progress tomorrow after the gym I’m a little pissy because I’ve had to drive every day this week so far and tomorrow also I would rather get an early start on this thing but I’ve been blowing off the gym for a couple of weeks so I need to go
  12. What are we forever saying on here? This is why we don’t like to throw anything out.
  13. Yes, I also thought of that. It depends on what you’ve got. Thanks for that Dave.
  14. Yes, same here. I’ve been looking at those things since I was a young teenager and I had to take a second look. I’ve never really noticed if the paws touched the pedestal or not.
  15. I have like seven sets of them brand new in the box
  16. wow thats amazing thanks for that,,,,ill have to look into that,,,im sure many are interchangeable
  17. as geoff said seat belts are a blessing in (most) cases,,,,49 years in big rigs,,,i never wore the seatbelts untill they started installing those annoying noises in all the dashboards
  18. and i suppose that was after your parents,told you time after time not to,lol.bob
  19. i did the same thing around 73 mass to maine,,,i had pretty long hair then,,,didnt figure on hair was full of knots,when we arrived,,,,lol
  20. oooohhh ok it doesnt look any different than the 9000s i was driving for nissens bakery in the 70s,,,you would have to be from new England to remember them,,,,thanks dean
  21. lol thanks for that,,,,,i dont know what the problem is either,,,,i heard years ago that town was a swamp,,,,and nobody cares,,,,media whines about how much $$$$ spent on these moves,,,,,,but these professional solders are already on the payroll,,,sitting around,polishing thier boots and exersizing,,,and waiting for something to do
  22. well i was already to start assembly discovered all this wierd carbon build up i almost missed,,,also they sent me the wrong sector bearing uuuuuuuuurrrr thankfully mine doesn't really look worn,,,,seal and gaskit set are correct,,,more scraping after lunch,,,,
  23. I only quit smoking cigarettes for health purposes. I still smoke cigars and chew, but I always spend about $12 a week for both.
